Aug. 14, 1960 Rana muscosa Aug 14, 1960 - until touched, there were two types of tods here. Hyla seemed to dominate. The other, Rana, also was not so well developed, most having only hind legs, but one or two had fore legs. All specimens were caught by hand, and the Rana seemed more alert. The large Rana is # 11 Four frogs (# 7-10) were taken in some shallow, dirt-bottomed pools about 80 yds. below the site described above. We saw five and took all but one. The ponds are part of a seepage, and are very dirty. The ground around is a block dirt, interspaced with granite boulders of varying size. There is a considerable growth of grass around, with a few small white composites around. Two of the frogs were taken in a pool 2 x 6 feet in size, about 6 to 8 inches deep, with a very mucky bottom covered with a reddish-brown algae. There were water striders and numerous mosquito larvae in the pools, which were rather warm. The site is probably in the sun most of the day. The frogs were at the edge of the pools and hopped in when disturbed. They are quite conspicuous on the bottom, where they show up light. Two of the frogs were quite reddish on the chin and side of the head.
